At a glance

Smart Router Orchestrator coordinates substantive development with native subagents when ENABLESMARTROUTERORCHESTRATOR=1 and Unity Gateway smart routing is enabled.

  • Tasks that involve Subagents
  • SKILL.md covers Activation, Workflow, Delegation gate and Assign and coordinate, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Smart Router Orchestrator is an agent skill from databricks/unity-gateway, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Smart Router Orchestrator coordinates substantive development with native subagents when ENABLESMARTROUTERORCHESTRATOR=1 and Unity Gateway smart routing is enabled. Follow UG's activation context. Skip easy tasks and explicit no-subagent requests.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files (for example `README.md`, `agents/explorer.md` and `agents/researcher.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Subagents

Example prompts

  • “/smart-router-orchestrator”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ff1d8a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Smart Router Orchestrator loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,073 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,073 words (~1,985 tokens).

“UG's prompt and compaction hooks activate this workflow only in an eligible smart-routing session launched with ENABLE_SMART_ROUTER_ORCHESTRATOR=1 while routing is on. Follow the latest UG activation context and successful Smart Router toggles; installed skill files and old context do not…”
